This was a very crucial piece of information that you left out 
initially. Panama uses libclang for specific new features in that 
project. I don't know the details on how to build that project. You will 
need to ask people working on Panama for details on any special needs 
they have.

I would recommend you clone the mainline jdk and get that to work first 
as a baseline.
